General description
U2OS GFP-NUP98 are bone osteosarcoma cells from a human 15 year old caucasian female having a ZFN modification creating a GFP-NUP98 transgene expressed from the endogenous NUP98 gene locus.
This cell line was derived from ATCC Catalog No. HTB-96.

Application
U2OS Cells have been used to assess cell proliferation using Alamar Blue and live cell imaging. This product is a human U2OS cell line in which the genomic NUP98 gene has been endogenously tagged with a 3XFLAG™ epitope and a Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) gene using CompoZr® Zinc Finger Nuclease technology. Integration resulted in endogenous expression of a fusion protein in which the 3XFLAG is attached to the N-terminus of GFP and the GFP is attached to the N-terminus of NUP98. Fluorescence imaging shows characteristic NUP98 nuclear expression. This stable cell line was expanded from a single clone. The target′s gene regulation and corresponding protein function are preserved in contrast to cell lines with overexpression via an exogenous promoter.

Features and Benefits
Zinc finger nuclease (ZFN)-mediated targeted integration of a fluorescent GFP tag just behind the start codon of the NUP98 gene on chromosome 11p15.4 to create a cell line exhibiting stable expression of the transgene tagged with GFP on the N-terminus of the protein.
The U2OS cells are adherent, with a doubling time of approx. 29 hours.
